Pls don't tell him I'm after one of those myself :rp
 
With the 10th pick, I'm not sure who I will pick. Looks like I'll have to make a couple trades

Some big Fish haven't been picked yet in this round. Particularly pacers. One, if not two, of the very best.

Now you see me.

Since this is the last pick of round, I think it's unfair if one of my favourites goes unpicked.

Again, you are at right place at right time.Go get him. 'Rhino' Darren Gough is all yours. Rhino over Jimmy anyday buddy.

Good stuff!
[MENTION=143163]dildildalwalla[/MENTION] we are all set to kick off the last round chief.
 
After the draft is done. We should have a rating system where the public could give a rating which team is the best chosen and the worst.
 
Good stuff!

[MENTION=143163]dildildalwalla[/MENTION] we are all set to kick off the last round chief.
[MENTION=143163]dildildalwalla[/MENTION].. Please also publish all the teams thus far.. also let's provide a transfer window of 1 day before we kick start the last round..

Fellas just letting y'all know that I got a message from [MENTION=133760]Abdullah719[/MENTION] today asking me if I could finish things off here because dildildalwalla won't be able to. I'll post the draft order for the last round in a sec.
 
[MENTION=143163]dildildalwalla[/MENTION].. Please also publish all the teams thus far.. also let's provide a transfer window of 1 day before we kick start the last round..

That sounds like a good idea chief. We can kick off the last round tomorrow. In the mean time we can have a trading period and we can also do another one after the last round finishes as well.

Pls post your teams here fellas. I'll put them all together once that's done. Should make trading a bit easier.

Is that the draft order?
 
As for the draft order for the last round the fairest thing to do I thought was to look at the last couple of rounds since they were the most difficult and give the guys who were a bit hard done by there an earlier pick this round.

Also, can we trade draft picks? swap drafting positions along with a player?
 
Btw if you are not thinking of trading just yet I guess you can go ahead with your last round pick. No harm done.

Yeah if you can settle that before the trading period is over (by around this time tomorrow which would be around 2:00 GMT) I don't see any issues with that.

If you need 5700 ODI runs & 190 ODI wickets. As expected, some big names have been skipped.

A perfect offie for your team. Let the curiosity grow.

[MENTION=132969]Da_Future_Knick[/MENTION] you're up chief.

Swap draft picks with me and give me a fast bowler.
I'll give you Jaywardene + 1st pick for a fast bowler + 6th pick

My batting is already sorted tho champ can't really fit MJ in there now. Waqar for Saqi offer still stands tho. You can then keep your draft spot and pick up a spinner this round.
 
Or you can actually pick up another quick as well since you already have a couple more spinners in there.

Murali and Kapil for Yuvraj and Waqar?
 
Hmmm interesting offer that one champ :))

Let's see what [MENTION=132969]Da_Future_Knick[/MENTION] has to say first since I've already made that offer to him.

Take a look at my team and see if you would want anyone in exchange for Yuvi
 
So it looks like it's a no deal from [MENTION=132969]Da_Future_Knick[/MENTION] :))


Murali and Kapil for Yuvraj and Waqar?

[MENTION=143316]shady[/MENTION] if that offer still stands I'm willing to go with that. Just let me know if you are to confirm the trade.
 
Btw fellas you are free to pick from any country this round. Not just from the associates.

Sorry bro haha
 
Also while waiting for others to pick I don't see any harm done in player trades. Should spice things up a bit rather than just waiting for your turn. Will be best to not allow draft spot swapping from here on in tho me thinks. Might get a bit messy otherwise.
 
Just so that everyone knows

I was just looking through the criteria I set out for player selection:

" Criteria regarding the players you can pick:
- For the test playing nations, they must have played a minimum of 30 ODIs
- If you are picking someone a batsman, then he must have played a minimum of 10 ODI innings at that position
- For the non-test nations, players must have played a minimum of 10 list A and/or ODI games"

There are many players from Zimbabwe who meet that criteria, so I do not think I will be changing the rules to the Zimb round. I know the quality of players will be quite low but then again you have a WI pick to balance that AND that's the hwole point about picking a world XI...pick a player from each country. Even if that country doesn't have the best quality.

HOWEVER, I have decided to change the last round to a free-for-all. That means anyone with a lacklustre pick in round 4 (or from Bang) can pick anyone from a nation of their choosing. All in all, we end up with teams representative of the world...the cricketing world anyway.

If people still want to pick an associate/non test player, that is fine.
 
So it looks like it's a no deal from [MENTION=132969]Da_Future_Knick[/MENTION] :))




[MENTION=143316]shady[/MENTION] if that offer still stands I'm willing to go with that. Just let me know if you are to confirm the trade.

Any chance we can swap picks for this round as well or is that a deal breaker?
 
:))) :)))

Good thing I mentioned it then :yk

Whatever happened to [MENTION=142013]ahmadharis1[/MENTION] team ? He should take his picks before last round that itself will consume few key players and he will be left with just making numbers.
 
[MENTION=132270]SL_Fan[/MENTION] , or dissolve his team and make his 4 picks open for selection in last round. Doesn't make sense if Wasim and Malinga are supplemented by Dinda, chandana and Rao Iftikhar. Or Crow and Warner by Farhat and Gurusinha.

Why don't you take that team over champ you can fill in the gaps after [MENTION=132969]Da_Future_Knick[/MENTION] makes his pick. Ahmadharis1 hasn't been around last few rounds plus don't think it'll be fair to release those players now.
 
If you are interested his picks are Akram, Crowe, Warner and Malinga.

So he has left to go

Ind and SA picks
Zimb and WI picks
Bang and Eng picks
And a pick from any country this round

It's true that I was interested to make his pick for 3rd round when he missed his Ind-SA picks. A lot of water has passed through under bridges since then. Still a temptation to fill in but I'm not sure whether I should or not. I think it will disturb last round strategies of some selecters if I start picking now.

Secondly, I am already committed to select an XI from unpicked pool with representation from at least 9 countries.
